Nitro-Mania: Fortune shares latest craft beer trend

Craft Beer Trends to Look Out For in 2016

Nitro-mania – Samuel Adams hopes to lead the charge to popularize a new style of carbonation in 2016 with its series of nitrogen-carbonated beers – a white ale, an IPA and a coffee stout. But it won’t be alone. Guinness, whose stout is arguably the leader in nitro beers, will continue to promote its nitro-IPA, which it released last year. And Left Hand Brewing’s recent expansion of its nitro offerings – adding Sawtooth Nitro American Ale, and Wake Up The Dead Imperial Stout Nitro to its already popular nitro Milk Stout – could boost the brewer’s already notable popularity.
